This is a time when some people play Christmas music, so it is without saying that I would hear one or two of them. Today I heard an old Christmas diddy by Dolly Parton called “silver and gold” . The song is about worth and such.
To me it reminds me of an old saying “make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver the other Gold. It makes me think of the little group I am a part of. The Fabulous HellKatz. You seeI met Echo and K shortly after starting my blog here. I couldn’t have imagined how important their friendship would become. You see they were silver. Silver is pretty and shiny, but it can be easy to fail to see it’s worth. Years have passed I was in jail, my life has changed. The Hellkatz have changed too, but stuck by my side. That’s the thing. Recently I went through a pretty terrible time in my life. Deep depression, and although I had made some new friends I couldn’t talk to them. There was no understanding of where I had been in life. What’s worse I let that overshadow what should have been an easy decision. I was scared to even talk to other people because I felt if I couldn’t trust these new friends how could I trust anyone..
I should have remembered I have friends that are Gold sooner than I did.. Once I opened up to the Hellkatz, and my oldest friend in life I started feeling better. Today I was reminded I have friends who are gold. Echo and K, the other Hellkatz. My Golden friends. I love you both. Thanks so much.
